Recovering Volumes on a Disk
This procedure performs any necessary volume recovery operations on
the volumes on a given disk. The recovery operations depend on the
types of volumes on the disk and include starting disabled volumes,
resynchronizing mirrors in mirrored volumes, and resynchronizing

be available for use again.
